Two air-conditioned bedrooms are positioned on the ground floor of the main house.

With a polished concrete floor, pitched roof and white washed timber walls, this delightful bedroom has the feel of a wooden chalet. It is attractively furnished with a king sized bed, bedside lamps, table, chair, and a wardrobe. Sliding doors lead on to an ironwood deck complete with table for two. Raised high above the garden, the bedroom and deck affords stunning views all over the estate and the surrounding rice fields, and the breezy deck is a particularly delightful place to relax. The en-suite bathroom has a rain shower, a washbasin on a carved washstand, and a toilet. It features unpolished marble brick walls, and skylights in the roof, which let in plenty of natural light.
